[00:00.00][I. Overture]
[00:05.00]
[00:06.00][Instrumental]
[04:25.07] And the meek shall inherit the earth
[04:32.00]
[04:32.05][II. Temples of Syrinx]
[04:37.05]
[04:47.86] We've taken care of everything
[04:49.94] The words you hear, the songs you sing
[04:51.86] The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
[04:55.29] It's one for all and all for one
[04:57.28] We work together, common son
[04:59.31] Never need to wonder how or why
[05:02.05]
[05:03.64] We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
[05:10.72] Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
[05:17.76] We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
[05:24.79] All the gifts of life are held within our walls
[05:30.60]
[05:42.04] Look around at this world we've made
[05:43.81] Equality our stock in trade
[05:45.68] Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
[05:49.08] Oh, what a nice, contented world
[05:51.31] Let the banners be unfurled
[05:53.23] Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
[05:55.96]
[05:57.38] We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
[06:04.41] Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
[06:11.50] We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
[06:18.52] All the gifts of life are held within our walls
[06:24.62]
[06:41.56][III. Discovery]
[06:46.56]
[06:47.56][Instrumental]
[08:25.81] What can this strange device be?
[08:29.89] When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
[08:36.06] It's got wires that vibrate and give music
[08:42.00] What can this thing be that I found?
[08:46.00]
[09:12.95] See how it sings like a sad heart
[09:16.20] And joyously screams out its pain
[09:19.69] Sounds that build high like a mountain
[09:22.87] Or notes that fall gently like rain
[09:32.27]
[09:54.15] I can't wait to share this new wonder
[09:59.16] The people will all see its light
[10:04.52] Let them all make their own music
[10:09.38] The Priests praise my name on this night
[10:13.57]
[10:14.08][IV. Presentation]
[10:19.08]
[10:33.52] I know it's most unusual
[10:37.73] To come before you so
[10:41.81] But I've found an ancient miracle
[10:46.56] I thought that you should know
[10:51.62] Listen to my music
[10:55.68] And hear what it can do
[11:00.54] There's something here as strong as life
[11:04.94] I know that it will reach you
[11:08.26]
[11:10.48] Yes, we know, it's nothing new
[11:14.98] It's just a waste of time
[11:18.98] We have no need for ancient ways
[11:23.02] The world is doing fine
[11:28.74] Another toy that helped destroy
[11:33.31] The elder race of man
[11:37.80] Forget about your silly whim
[11:42.40] It doesn't fit the plan, no
[11:46.67]
[11:46.94] I can't believe you're saying
[11:50.92] These things just can't be true
[11:55.37] Our world could use this beauty
[11:59.53] Just think what we might do
[12:05.08] Listen to my music
[12:09.56] And hear what it can do
[12:13.29] There's something here that's as strong as life
[12:17.67] I know that it will reach you
[12:20.71]
[12:23.46] Don't annoy us further!
[12:26.86] Oh, we have our work to do
[12:31.92] Just think about the average
[12:36.72] What use have they for you?
[12:41.77] Another toy that helped destroy
[12:46.53] The elder race of man
[12:50.73] Forget about your silly whim
[12:55.56] It doesn't fit the plan!
[12:57.99]
[13:53.79][V. Oracle: The Dream]
[13:58.79]
[14:20.81] I wandered home though silent streets
[14:27.13] And fell into a fitful sleep
[14:32.78] Escape to realms beyond the night
[14:38.98] Dream, can't you show me the light?
[14:43.33]
[14:49.74] I stand atop a spiral stair
[14:53.58] An oracle confronts me there
[14:57.43] He leads me on light years away
[15:01.12] Through astral nights, galactic days
[15:05.11] I see the works of gifted hands
[15:09.00] That grace this strange and wondrous land
[15:12.54] I see the hand of man arise
[15:16.26] With hungry mind and open eyes
[15:20.04]
[15:29.46] They left our planets long ago
[15:33.26] The elder race still learn and grow
[15:37.31] Their power grows with purpose strong
[15:40.94] To claim the home where they belong
[15:45.09] Home to tear the Temples down...
[15:48.73] Home to change!
[15:52.00]
[15:53.81][VI. Soliloquy]
[15:58.81]
[16:22.21] The sleep is still in my eyes
[16:27.82] The dream is still in my head
[16:32.87] I heave a sigh and sadly smile
[16:38.08] And lie a while in bed
[16:42.94] I wish that it might come to pass
[16:48.39] Not fade like all my dreams
[16:52.13]
[16:54.62] Just think of what my life might be
[16:58.66] In a world like I have seen!
[17:04.63] I don't think I can carry on
[17:07.97] Carry on this cold and empty life
[17:12.87] Oh no!
[17:17.09]
[18:02.89] My spirits are low in the depths of despair
[18:07.73] My lifeblood...spills over
[18:16.08]
[18:16.84][VII. The Grand Finale]
[18:21.84]
[20:03.91] Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
[20:07.54] Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
[20:11.24] Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
[20:14.77] We have assumed control
[20:17.09] We have assumed control
[20:19.39] We have assumed control
